| Name the two strands for atypical squamous cells (ASC) and what they mean | ASC-US some cells are abnormal (dysplasia) may be due to infection or HPV. ASC-H is dysplasia - small possibility of precancerous changes |
| dysplasia can be either low grade (LSIL low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) or high grade (HSIL high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) what is the significance of each | The risk of low grade dysplasia transforming into high grade dysplasia and, eventually, cancer is low. Treatment is usually straightforward. High grade dysplasia represents a more advanced progression towards malignant transformation |
| What two STI cause the majority of pelvic inflammator disease (PID) | Gonorrhea and Chlamydia |
| Etiology of pevic inflammatory disease | early and multiple sex partners |
